10 Ways To Use Expired Milk (3 of 6)

4. Cook a Batch of Pudding

Pudding is another excellent way to make your extra milk disappear. Chocolate pudding, vanilla custard, rice pudding, and tapioca are all delicious, so it’s a win-win. Home-cooked pudding is much richer than the instant kind, but it doesn’t “reset” spoiled milk’s expiration clock. Begin with milk that still looks and smells fresh, then let the finished dessert sit in your fridge for a few hours.

5. Make a Simple White Sauce

Any basic white sauce starts with butter, flour, and, of course, milk. From there, you can turn it into pasta sauce, cheese sauce, a casserole base, or the creamy layer in homemade lasagna. Add some cheddar for mac’n’cheese, Parmesan for pasta, or garlic and herbs for a quick-and-dirty sauce that pairs with pretty much anything.
